This online engineering PDH course provides EPA's BMP for the protection of wetlands and aquatic ecosystems, conservation of water resources, and flood control.
Municipal operations can adversely affect the water quality system due to pollutant runoff from various activities such as park and open space maintenance, fleet and building maintenance, new construction and land disturbances, and storm water system maintenance.
EPA recognizes that storm water pollution resulting from municipal activities can be prevented or reduced by implementing an effective storm water operations and maintenance program. Therefore the EPA published the Storm Water Phase II Rule on

This online engineering PDH course presents examples of different permitting approaches that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found in a nationwide review of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits that specifically address linear, department of transportation (DOT) municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s).
Stormwater discharge is an issue which requires both proactivity and reactivity; the MS4 permits provide a framework within which projects can adhere to practices aimed at reducing the amount of pollutants found in stormwater discharge which makes its way into the environment.
This course features useful information and excerpts from the MS4 permits of many different States. It uses these excerpts to illustrate key points regarding each section of the packet. It also features broader tips which apply to general projects which may be susceptible to pollutants in stormwater discharge.
This 7 PDH online course is applicable to civil, environmental, stormwater management and sustainability engineers as well as other technical personnel interested in learning more about MS4 permit regulations.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the key idea behind MS4 permit requirements
- Familiarizing with the establishment of the stormwater management program
- Learning about the permit requirements for facilities, roadways and storm sewer infrastructure
- Familiarizing with the Project Development and Active Construction requirements
- Familiarizing with the various Best Management Practices of the different DOTs

This online engineering PDH course addresses the implementation of non-structural best management practices for post construction storm water management.
Erosion and sedimentation related to construction site storm water runoff can significantly affect the aquatic population and hydraulic characteristics of the receiving waters. Alterations in hydraulic characteristics of streams receiving runoff include higher peak flow rates, increased frequency and duration of bankfull and subbankfull flows, increased occurrences of downstream flooding, and reduced baseflow levels.
EPA recognizes that such alterations can be prevented by implementing an effective storm water management program. Therefore the EPA published the Storm Water Phase II Rule on
This 6 PDH online course is applicable to municipality owner and/or operators, construction contractors/workers, site developers, engineers, managers, and all other personnel involved in the implementation of non-structural best management practices for post construction storm water management.

- Types and methods of non- structural bmp for storm water management
- Applicability
- Siting and design criteria
- Maintenance and cost considerations
- Effectiveness and limitations
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review EPA’s “Non-Structural BMP” section of the “Post Construction Storm Water Management in New Development and Redevelopment”. This section of the BMP addresses the following:

This engineering online PDH course will establish conditions under which, when an engineering failure has occurred, it can be attributed to negligence.
Five causes of failure are proposed: negligence, rare failure mode, overlooked failure mode, new (previously unrecognized) failure mode, and incorrect assessment of a known risk. Negligence is the only cause that involves failing in an ethical duty. These concepts are illustrated with five case studies of failures ranging from gross negligence to absolutely unforeseeable events: 1) the Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919, for which a new possible cause was identified 95 years later (2014); 2) a building collapse in Bangladesh in which over 1,000 people died—one of the worst structural engineering disasters in history; 3) a meteorite strike of a private residence; 4) the crash of the British-French Concorde supersonic airliner, caused by an unlikely tire blow-out; and 5) radiation overdoses received by patients treated by the Thorac-25 medical linear accelerator, caused by errors in the software controlling the machine.
The 2 PDH online course is intended for engineers concerned with ethical behavior in engineering practice.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the definitions of negligence and standard of care
- Relating safety to risk
- Knowing the principle of Knightian uncertainty
- Avoiding the retrospective fallacy in accident investigations
- Avoiding the fallacy, in accident investigations, of assuming perfect engineering practice
- Using the results of failure investigations appropriately
- Being aware of the negative effects of punishment on learning from accidents
- Categorizing the general causes of engineering failures
